I followed this tutorial to add star ratings.
https://metabox.io/add-star-ratings-to-wordpress-on-backend/

Works fine so far. Kinda stuck though: how do I get the stars to show up on a view I created?

tried the following so far:
<div> {% set field = attribute( post, 'bewertung_-_rating' ) %} {{ field }}</div><div>{{ post.date | date( 'j. F Y' ) }}</div>
</div>

Hi,

If you follow the tutorial to create the rating field, you can click on the button Insert Field and select the rating field to output with the view.

{{ post.rating }}

Well, I downladed and installed the plugin from github - but the field does not show up in the view editor? What am I missing 😉

OR actually, there is but it creates this block, not {{ post.rating }} like you write:
{% set field = attribute( post, 'bewertung_-_rating' ) %}

Hi,

The View will generate the field ID which you register under the meta box on step 4
https://metabox.io/add-star-ratings-to-wordpress-on-backend/#step-4-create-custom-fields-to-add-star-ratings-with-mb-star-rating-plugin

The plugin from Github helps you to create the custom field type. You also have to create a custom field based on that field type.

But it will display the value of the rating field which should be 1, 2, 3 ... instead of stars. So you need to use the proxy to run the helper function rwmb_the_value() like the tutorial

{{ mb.rwmb_the_value( 'rating' ) }}

https://docs.metabox.io/rwmb-the-value/
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#running-php-functions

I also see the file dashicons.ttf is missing in the plugin folder, you can copy it from the WP folder /wp-includes/fonts/dashicons.ttf to /wp-content/plugins/mb-rating-field-main/fonts/dashicons.ttf
